A Changing of the Guard The dawning of a new decade brings a new era to The University of Texas Law School. The new addition will soon house the Tarleton Law Library and offices for organizations and faculty. The extra space provided by the move will be converted into classrooms to serve the burgeoning student body more comfortably. More Library study space, long a deficiency which has hurt the school’s national ranking, will make the excellent library resources more accessible. The school could be at the verge of greatness to which it has long aspired. However, the new decade also brings trials and challenges. While more than half of the 1970 faculty remains with the school, some of its more renowned professors have moved on, or are rumored to soon he leaving. The procedure courses, long a University of Texas forte are no longer blessed with the wisdom of Dean Green, Judge Stayton, Gus Hodges, Albert Jones and Frank Elliott. While their replacements may be able, the loss of prestige is more difficult to replace. Dean John Sutton has declared stemming the defection of the school’s top professors his first priority. He hopes that wi'th financial assistance from the foundation the school will be able to match the lucrative offers that have lured professors away. Dean Sutton's success in the coming decade will determine whether this school will continue to grow or only lag behind the others. •1 — A Changing of fho Guard
